A Personalized Amsterdam Experience with Heart and Expertise - We had a wonderful experience with Elvina on our private Amsterdam tour. From the very beginning, she was friendly, attentive, and accommodating, even meeting us directly at our accommodation to make the day as easy as possible. What stood out most was her kindness and professionalism when we received some unexpected bad news during our trip. Elvina was incredibly thoughtful and sensitive to the situation, handling us with genuine care and compassion. Her understanding made a difficult moment much easier to navigate. Before the tour, she carefully reviewed the points of interest we had bookmarked and thoughtfully incorporated many of them into our itinerary. When she felt there were better options, she shared them with us and explained why. Her local knowledge helped steer us away from tourist traps and toward a more authentic Amsterdam experience that reflected the city’s true character and daily life. Elvina is clearly passionate about Amsterdam and was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing her city with us. She brought the history, culture, and everyday life of Amsterdam to life through her stories and insights. She also went above and beyond to accommodate my husband’s physical limitations, thoughtfully incorporating breaks and making excellent use of public transportation to minimize walking while still allowing us to experience so much of the city. By the end of the tour, we were so impressed with Elvina that we immediately booked a second tour with her. If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, flexible, compassionate, and genuinely invested in creating a personalized experience, we highly recommend Elvina.

Excellent private tour - Booked a private walking tour with Amsterdam With Me and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and showed us both the main sights and charming hidden spots. Perfect balance of history, culture, and local tips, with great food recommendations. Flexible, attentive, and made us feel like locals. Highly recommended!

Best walking tour I’ve taken! - Elvina was incredible! I’m so glad we included this private walking tour as part of our trip to Amsterdam. Her knowledge of the city’s history, its context, and attention to detail make it a very enjoyable tour where I felt like I learned something. We got to visit areas of Amsterdam that I would not have otherwise seen, got to feel like I was a local for a short period of time which was lovely. We covered a lot of ground during her tour and I saw more of the city that I think I would have explored had we not engaged her tour.

Must do tour - Elvina is a hands down the best private guide I’ve ever had! She perfectly balances deep history with great humor, making Amsterdam truly come alive. Beyond the stories, she curated a fantastic food tour and provided great photography throughout. It was the most comprehensive coverage of the city I’ve ever seen—an absolute 10/10 experience!

Customizable walking tour of Amsterdam with a Fantastic Host - My wife and I did two private Amsterdam tours with Elvina on our recent Amsterdam trip and had a great time on both. Elvina is a knowledgeable, friendly, and easy going host with a real passion for sharing the culture and history of Amsterdam. She is also happy to customize tour routes based on what you have already explored to make sure you get the most of your experience. Highly recommend booking a tour with Elvina! Addition bonus: both tours ended at a brewery for a quick beer and chat to recover from the walking 😀

Layover in Amsterdam - The guide was informative and friendly. We visited main squares, red light district, canals, and less touristy places. And finished the tour at a local cafe which was perfect for getting lunch before going back to the airport.

Private tour - We had been to the city before, but never explored with a guide. We decided to book the tour to learn Amsterdam’s history, see the highlights from a local perspective, and dive into Dutch culture. Tour with Elvina was great! We enjoyed.

Great Tour - We had a short spontaneous trip to Amsterdam. We booked Elvina's tour last minute hoping it would go smooth. Elvina reacted to our booking quickly and was on time. Luckily, everything was great. We saw popular places, tried cheese, got souvenirs, learnt about local culture and history, visited residential quiet part of Amsterdam to feel the real Amsterdam. We were all happy about the tour and the guide.

Amazing local tour! - My friend and I had a fantastic time with Elvina in Amsterdam! She took us to the main sights and charming local neighbourhoods, and we even enjoyed a cheese tasting - we couldn’t resist bringing some Gouda home. Elvina was such a lovely host - friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel safe (especially around all the bikes haha). She answered all our questions and made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. Every stop gave us new insights into the city’s history and culture - we learned so much about Dutch life! She even recommended a great place for dinner where we tried stamppot, a traditional Dutch meal. Highly recommend exploring Amsterdam with Elvina!
